Manager API

The core tool_lifecycle plugin offers a set of manager classes that provide helpful API functions, which can be used by all subplugins to store and query settings and process data or influence processes.

The following manager classes are supposed to be used by subplugins:

• Backup Manager: Creating and loading backups
• Delayed Courses Manager: Delaying courses and querying existing delays
• Interaction Manager: Manages interactions with users
• Lib Manager: Manager to retrive the lib of each subplugin
• Process Data Manager: Management of process data. This can be arbitrary data that a subplugin wants to store in the context of a process.
• Process Manager: Querying the state of a process
• Settings Manager: Querying the settings of a subplugin instance
• Step Manager: Retrieving the step object
• Trigger Manager: Retrieving the trigger object
• Workflow Manager: Manager for Life Cycle Workflows
